Mr. Speaker and Melnbers of the House. if you had given any particularly study to this bill. you would find there is more behind it than what my good friend the chairman of the committee has just said. You must bear it mind that in 1923 the American Governitent visited through its consuls certain passports of prospective immigrants who had been examined and found fit to enter the United States of Anlerica. They paid their fee to the Government. and the Government of the United States accepted the money. with the assumption that they would be permitted to enter the United States of America. Now. about four years afterwards. instead of allowing these people to enter the United States under a proper visa made by the American consul. we are waking up at this late time by saying that the visas we gave you in 1923 are no good. that time American Government will return you the $10 you paid in 1923. or at any other time. but you can not enter this country.
